The only safe bet on a woman's CATCHING OF WHALES WHICH HAVE V VIS SATED wniis SHORES, 1 Whale Weighing 849 Tons Once Towed Into Ostend Harbor... Strange Things ¥annd On the Shore, Hi AN gre Yt may come as a surprise to the reader to learn that whales and por- polses often visit British shores; and that several whale-hunts have taken sce at prominent seaside resorts. --=Aecording to an old fisherman in- terviewed by the writer recently, whales are oftén found when the tide is out lying half-burfed in the sand. Jt was not so very long ago that over sixty _boitle-noséd whales 'were stranded in Mount's Bay, near Pen- zance. They came in with the tide, and were left helpless at low water. Crowds of holiday-makers made their way to the beach to Inspect the whales, some of which nieasured quite Z6 feet from nose to tall. Sev- eral mischievous lads slashed the le- viathans with pocket knives, and eventuglly tive wounded monsters were killed by gunshot, Later, when the tide returned, the living whales, mearly forty in number, floated off in- | to the sea. A large whale was once thrown up- | on the beach at Searborough, and when it came to be measured it was found to be no less than 49 feet in length, Perhaps the largest whale 'ever ! caught by chance was the one towed ' into Ostend Harbor many years ago. L It measures over 100 feet in length, and weighed 249 tons, Four thous- and gallons of oil were obtained from the blubber, and the skeleton was conveyed to London and exhibited to the public at so much per head. The sea is constantly throwing op strange things upon the shore. Much excitement was cauged at Mundesley. on-fea, Norfolk, some time ago, when | it became known that old gold coins | were being washed up on the beach. Men and women flocked to the shore in the hope of securing -treasure- trove, cagions over $250 in gold coins were picked up on the foreshore, scarcely a day passing but thai guineas, half guineas, George shillings and aix- pences were found on the sands. One man discovered a guinea and a half guinea well within an hour. Rome of the alder colns which were flung up by the sea dated to the reigns of | and | Charles II., George III, William sand Mary, and it was surmised that they came from the numerous wrecks | which took place on the coast years ago. There in'a class of men and women who earn a livelihood by walking | along the coasts of Britain gathering together what articles of value they come acrogs. Tho larger portion of, thelr *'finds" consists of rubbish sucks as bits of etring, bottles, old boots, "| fragments of fishing-nets, old iron, wood, and 0 on, but now and again they are lucky enough to discover s| some valuable relic which has been thrown up by the sea. One man who 4 picked up a living on the sands once found a Reman sword, which he sold to an antiquarian for $60, while on another occasion he picked Up.a litle moskie box with a map of ancient Bri. tain cut Into the 11d and worth nedrly Made Him Famous, A. M. Palmer, the famous theatri- cal manager, once told a story which fllustrated the reason for Mansfield's puccess on the stage, Manafield be- fore he was known to fame was cast for the part of Baron Chevridl, a part so small that other actors re- fused to play it. . The night of the first performance Mansfield made the hit of the production owing to the realistic manner in which he simu- lated death from paralysis. It after- ward transpired that he had em- ployed a physician to coach Him in portraying the effects of a paralytic stroke, Kissing the Toe. The custom of kissing the fest of persons whom it was desired to hon- or originated with. the ancients, The people of oriental nations used to Kidd the Hands and fest or hems of the clothes of the persons they wish- «d to show respect for. The ancient Egyptians got this custom from the ABsyrians, later the Greeks adopted the 'habit from the Egyp- Greoks; A Handkerchief Trick. . To take two corners of a handker- chief, one in each hand, and with-a single straight motion and without letting go either corngr, to tie a knot in _the handkerchief seems at first thought impossible, Nevertheless it is simple. Before you take hold of the handkerchief fold your . y then grasp the two corners of the handkerchief. Holding an opposite corner in each hand, deaw the arm apart. That singlé straight ment will tie the knot.

Presently the kind ly disposed onlooker approached the pergpiring drayman and sald with a patronizing alr: "Like to have 4 eee" "Het yer life," the other replied, and for (he next two minutes the twa men on opposite sides of the box worked, lifted, puffed and wheezed, hut the box stick fast.

Fgge of flies are so small that you must use a microscope in order to see their reel peculiarities, . Each female fly lays on the average of 130 eggs, For Her cradle she selects a heap of garbage or refuse. The eggs hatéh into minute maggots. In five days the maggots turn Into little chrysp- 114s, or pupae, shaped like miniature beans. Within another five days these give birth to flies, which de- velop with smazing rapidity into adult insects, and 'then the mischief beging, 5 Besides his five or six consummate works, which by universal consent are practically above criticism, it may | be said that Goethe's songs are the best in the world.

A tom- mander bolds that rank for some five or seven years, and then is promoted: to captain, again by- selection, Onee & captain he goes up the captain's ligt, you might say, automatically, as each fiag-officer on the admiral's active Mat retires or dies. The senlor cap tain gets his promotion, to rear: admiral, unless he attains the age of 55 while a captain, when he has to retire. . The captain is is supreme command of the ship. He has his own mess and quarters, except io admiral and staff; and in destroyers and torpedo boats, where all officers mess together. The commander: fs the next in command, and his duties are numerous. He organizes the ship's company for their various du. ties. On a ship being placed in com- migion he sits at a table with the various heads of their departments, and gunnéry and torpedo officers, chief of the police, and warrant offi cers with him, and as each man comes | up, chief petty officers, petty officers, seamen, stokers, etc., each man re- ceives a card with his name, number place in action, fire, colligion, or aban- don ship. The commander has the whole eon trol of the discipline (of course, un der the captain) of the ship, as he ia the only offcer, with the exception] | of the captain, who has the power of punishing. The enginesr commander who earries out the superintendency of his department, hae no power to punigh his stokers in any way, and all defaulters are brought first before the wlio clther deals with them himself or forwards thera to the captain.

' The average age. of a commander is about 33 when promoted. A captain in the roval navy of three years is cqual in rank to a colonel in the army. A commander in the royal navy is the peer of a lieutenant-colonel, but is junior to that rank. re Too Tame to Kill, In connection with his term of office as President of the Board ef Trade Lord Buxton, the new Govern: or-General of South Africa, who, as is not generally known, Is a keen naturalist, tells the following story His orchards bad been invaded by @ number of bullfinches and other fruit-eating 'birds, and they did so much damage that it was obvious something must be done to step them. So the head gardener produc- ed an old fint-lock and sallied forth among the trees to wreak whatever vengeance he could. Shortly after- wards he came back and, half apolo- getically, informed the then Mr. Bux- ton that the bullfinches were 'so blooming tame" that they actually perched on the end of his gun, and he hadn't the heart to kill them.

Taxes on Hearths and Windows. Among the most curious of the English taxes which have from time 10 time beén imposed are those upon chimneys and upon windows. The former tax was first enforced in 1662 and wgs at th rate of 24 cents upon. 'every hearth or chimney. This was an obnoxious and Willlam III. immediately on accession to the throtie obtained some popularity by sending a message to Parliament do. siring that the imposition should. be tuken off (March 1, 1689), and his majesty's faithful commons complied ith its sovereign's request.
